Great tires. Put a set on ours this past Spring. Quiet, smooth, controlled drive.
Believe the OEM rim is a 19 X 7.5. Check with your tire vendor before you buy.

Made in Italy, so would that be the Perelli's? I am also looking at tires. How are they compared to what (mine are Dunlop) you had. Thanks.

My Pirellis were made in the UK. They're awesome compared to the Dunlops they replaced. My review is the second link above but here it is again.

If you live in snow and need all season tires.

Thanks Kitlz. I just read both tire threads and see where FishCandy got the Michelins. I have the Dunlops (OEM's) on my 450h and will want new tires soon but am researching now. I also have a 450h. What kind real life mileage are you getting on your Scorpions? Any other updates on them since you last posted on them? Thanks.

Dawg, no new updates since I had them rotated a few months ago. With a hilly city commute, the RXh is averaging 29+ MPG. Tire pressure is at 34. Now the Dunlops were fine while I had them. They got me through a few bad snow storms. But I like the ride with the Pirellis better.
